AbstractA review with 11 refs is given on indirect electrosynthesis when phase transfer catalysis is used to allow the chem. step to occur homogeneously in an org solvent immiscible with the aq. electrolyte. Ideally, the electrolysis should be carried out with an emulsion of the aq. and org. phases. As an example, the oxidn. of anthracene to anthraquinone via dichromate is described. The Ce4+/Ce3+ redox system can be also used as a catalyst for the p-xylene oxidn.

I want a nice argumentative thread, where I can tear little Bee's wings off

SWIM was interested in dissolving phenylalanine into a common solvent such as acetone, ethanol etc. Anyone know of any OTC products that could do the trick?Everyone repeat after me - "I am an individual, just like everybody else"
